Alex Highsmith Absent On Tuesday

Alex Highsmith Absent On Tuesday

2 days ago

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Alex Highsmith (ankle) was unable to participate during Tuesday's practice session. Highsmith has missed his second straight practice which is not good news heading into the Thursday Night matchup against the Cleveland Browns. He suffered an ankle injury in Week 10 and as a result Highsmith didn't play during last week's win over the Baltimore Ravens. The Steelers haven't placed him on the injured reserve, but head coach Mike Tomlin did say that Highsmith is considered as week-to-week right now. Highsmith has 19 tackles, four tackles for loss, and three sacks through six games this season. If he sits, Nick Herbig could see more snaps during Thursday's game.
